A tip for tuning your new Ukulele:
Are you finding your new ukulele always needs tuning every time you want to play it?
This is really common, particularly with new strings. Nylon strings take a certain amount of stretching before they settle down and hold their tune.
How to solve:Tune it to the desired note, then pull up on the string over the sound hole to give it a bit of a stretch. That'll take it down about 2 whole notes, tune it back up and repeat until it stays in tune. A lot of folks who maybe aren't used to stringed instruments, especially nylon strings, get frustrated, but don't worry, these are decent strings, they just need a good stretch!

My son absolutely loves this! Sounds great! Beautiful zebra wood. Looks like it’s good quality . We’re taking it to toddler time and music lessons at the library. Great instrument for a great price. Lovely carrying case with pocket for picks. Adjustable Strap to help. Absolutely happy with this purchase!

Super ukulélé pour débutants mais définitivement, nous avons eu de beaucoup de difficulté à l'accorder. Avec l'avis d'un musicien, ils nous faudra changer complètement les cordes car la qualité n'est pas top. Mise a part ça, il est wow. Le design est superbe.

This Uke is gorgeous, and sounds great! I read many of the 1 star reviews to see what the common complaints were. Many were with regard to tuning. People need to know that new stringed instruments need to be "broken in". New strings need to be gently stretched. This is achieved by tuning frequently and playing your instrument! Bought 2 for our toddlers and they are the perfect size. The only "problem" is the kids don't get a chance to play because my husband and I are obsessed with them! LOVE LOVE LOVE

Very well built, the only negative I see is that the fret wire edges are kind of rough, but I am able to remedy that by sanding them down a bit myself. It has strap buttons, comes with a substantial strap, a gig bag and 3 picks. An added plus is that my husband says he can tell when I am playing this ukulele by its volume and sound. It has a very pleasant tone.

I got this ukulele for my four-year-old son and I and I am very pleased with it. I have only purchased one ukulele, but for the research we did this seems like a great deal for the price. PROS: I am satisfied with how long it stays in tune. The slotted bridge seems like it will minimize frustration while changing strings. The intonation is surprisingly good. Octaves stay in tune well until you approach fret 10-12. The tone is pleasant. Very impressed with the appearance - bound edges on the body, outlined sound hole, and black tuning knobs make it stand out in terms of appearance among ukuleles of similar and even higher price. We appreciated the fact that it came with a soft-shell case because it helps communicate to my son that this is an instrument and not a toy. Strap for the instrument works great and is easy to adjust. Picks are a bonus. The soprano size is proportionate to his body. CONS: The ukulele fits in the case, but it is a little difficult to get it in. It would be helpful is the case was slightly longer that we we wouldn't have to fidget with the head of the ukulele to get it settled into the case. Once it is in the case zips up easily.Again, I can't review this instrument in relation to others because this is the only one I've played, but if you are looking for a beginner ukulele that isn't a children's toy then I would recommend starting here.

I am with one of the other reviewers: it says zebrawood, not laminate. That being said, it looks and sounds beautiful. Very nicely put together. Needs lots of tuning to start with, especially middle strings, but that is typical. Sale price of $42, which is what I paid, with nice Aquila strings: great deal. Does sound lovely, no buzzing, and looks nice. Just wish they would have said it was laminate. Misleading not to.It came in a timely fashion, so no problems there. I will be carrying this one around everywhere, and teaching my kids on it too.Update: I am upping my review to five stars. I still don't like being misled, but after learning more about purchasing Ukes, I have found that unless something specifically says that it is a solid wood, it will usually be laminate. I don't like it, but I understand now.My little girls (4 and 2) love to sing with me every night before bed. They run and get my ukulele and bring it to me... generally bumping it into something along the way. Like a doorway. And it has no scratches on it. It holds its tune much better now than it first did. It has such a nice soothing sound, and it takes the knocks that my kids give it. I am definitely getting my money's worth out of this uke. We use it every day! Highly recommend for a uke you want to have FUN with, without worrying about damaging it.

If this is your first uke, keep in mind that nylon (plastic) strings are standard even on professional instruments, and that they will need time to stretch (at least a day and up to a few weeks, depending on how much you play) before they will stay in tune.MATERIALSI wasn't expecting much at this price point, so I was pleasantly surprised.+ The body seems to be made of actual wood rather than the plastic-wood laminate I was expecting. Plastic is easier to care for, but wood gives a richer sound.= The frets and tuning gears are made of real metal.= The binding, nut, bridge, strings and knobs are made of genuine plastic.= The strings (high G at the top, followed by middle C, E and A) do come with a cardboard Aquila tag attached, as in the picture. The main selling point for Aquila strings is that they bring out the best in a cheap ukulele, but I'm not sure if that's necessary in this case.WORKMANSHIPThis is where it seems the manufacturer cut corners to keep the price low. Most of the defects are only cosmetic, and the rest were easily fixed.- Inside the body, at the top and bottom edges of the sound hole, there were some splinters. It was easy to remove the splinters without damaging the instrument, and that got rid of the buzzing I'd experienced the first few times I played.- The fret wire ends are not completely smooth or flush with the wood. The burrs aren't big enough to scratch me or interfere with playing, but when I run my hand up and down the neck I can definitely feel them. I could fix this in a few minutes with a bit of sandpaper, but it doesn't bother me that much.- The tuning gears look and feel very cheap. There's nothing wrong with them; they work, and will hopefully continue to work, but I won't be surprised if I need to replace them eventually.- I can see some irregularities in the glue where the neck joins the body.= The finish is very thin; you can easily see and feel the grain and flaws in the wood. I think this gives the instrument individual character and makes it look more "real;" someone else might compare it to scratches and dents in a car. It doesn't affect the sound either way.+ Frets are correctly spaced. (This is very important, especially in a beginner instrument.)+ Fretboard is straight and flat, as it should be.+ Nut and bridge are at the correct height.+ Strings were properly installed.PLAYABILITYI am very happy with the way this instrument sounds. It has a good, clear tone, and has not buzzed at all since I removed the splinters. The fretboard and string spacing are just right for small hands. Compared to a steel-stringed guitar, it is very easy to correctly fret the notes and learn new chords on an ukulele.An experienced musician will want something nicer (read: much more expensive), but this is an excellent choice for a beginner.
